KitchenAid Tilt-Head Mixers: Why is the speed too low at setting 10

Sun, 02 Nov 2025 06:20:34 -0700

I have an older Kitchenaid Artisan tilt head mixer and even after speed adjustment and replacement of top plastic gear assembly, food grade grease and phase control board (original spare part) the speed won’t go up after position 8. Even when properly adjusted (60 rpm at 1, 180 rpm at 6), the speed difference between position 6 and 8 is minimal and between 8 and 10 is absent.

This speed problem was already there when I was given the mixer, but I was hoping the replacements and adjustments would fix the speed problem. Please advise.

KitchenAid Classic Mixer K45SSWH: Spark while replacing brush and now the mixer won't turn on

Fri, 27 Jun 2025 12:45:30 -0700

Messed up while putting the brush spring back into the side of the mixer and left the power on. While inserting the brush head there was a pop and spark. Now when I insert the brush head (double checked the orientation) the motor still won’t turn on. Guess that means I shorted something, but is there anything I can do to fix it from here?

KitchenAid KSM150PSER: Help with a piece that fell out of the back control area

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 14:16:10 -0700

My speed control panel needed adjusting as my stand mixer would only go high speed no matter what setting. When I opened up the back to try adjusting the screws first to fix the speed problem a little piece fell out that is a U-shaped with a rolling metal cylinder on the bottom. It just fell out and I have no idea where it goes or if it’s essential to put back in but I’m guessing so. My model number is KSM155GBSN it is a KitchenAid artisan 5 quart.

KitchenAid Classic Mixer K45SSWH: Will not turn on at all after cleaning. No motor running

Mon, 19 Aug 2024 05:30:36 -0700

Kitchen aid mixer K45SS, bought in 70s, won't come on. I cleaned it by removing screws and cleaned screws and replaced. Oiled moving parts. Put everything back like it was. Now, won't turn on at all. Is there something not adjusted right for it to refuse to work. No motor sound, no nothing. Thanks, Debra Huffman

KitchenAid KSM150PSER: Speed control lever won't stay in off position

Tue, 26 Dec 2023 11:11:38 -0700

I have an Artisan KA about 9 years old. It has done well but over the last few months the speed control lever has started to jump out of the off position so that when you switch the power on at the mains it starts from speed one. I’ve taken the back off, and the adjustment screw wasn’t all the way in - but if I screw that in then it forces the main contacts apart until the lever moves to position 3. It feels like the lever needs more upward pressure, so that the raised bump on top of the lever is pushed more firmly into the grooves carved into the side of the body (they are hidden under the thin aluminium strip that wraps round the machine). Anyone got any ideas? Many thanks!

KitchenAid Artisan Mixer: I used it on something hard and a pin broke and came out

Sat, 23 Dec 2023 01:21:41 -0700

I stupidly tried to break apart some old brown sugar and pushed my machine to far. This pin came out and now machine makes a strange noise and the head(no idea of the actual name) is loose for want of a better word.

Before I start trying to pry of the aluminum ring like I saw in another guide I would just like to check if anyone knows this model well enough to provide advice on the correct procedure

Thanks in advance

KitchenAid KSM150PSER: stop spinnig with a bit of force

Sat, 29 Oct 2022 04:32:27 -0700

hi all,

I have a kitchenAid that after repair return seems to work fine when the bowl is empty, however as soon as I put something inside it even the smallest amount it will stop spinning while the motor keeps going. It sound like some gear tear or slack somewhere but opening it up all seems to be good and fine (can't check the slack the motor gear and the nylon gear). Of course I tried to go back to the guy to fix it and every time he fix it it hold for one use!

Any ideas? let me know if you want me to provide some pictures
